Default Off of Neurontin

Well, it's been a week now since I'm off of Neurontin. I will never go on that stuff again. My neurologist never said anything about side effects which makes me angry. It sort of helped but I hated the brain fog. The worst part is when I went off since I wasn't told to slowly transition off. It was a rough week but I'm feeling much better now.

My PN seems to have improved somewhat so I'm hopeful it's just gluten sensitivity that was causing it. Saw the GI doc on Friday and was reminded just how clueless he is. He just said no Celiac because the endoscopy was negative and didn't know what to do next. Absolutely clueless. At this point, I'm going to try to stay gluten free for a while to see if the PN goes away completely. My head is still not fully clear. Feels a bit like a constant sinus headache or that groggy feeling when you get up from a nap. Does that ever go away?

These meds that mess with your brain are very disconcerting. Never again.
